Geospace Technologies Corp

We design and manufacture instruments and equipment used in the oil and gas industry to acquire seismic data in order to locate, characterize and monitor hydrocarbon producing reservoirs. We also design and manufacture non-seismic products, including industrial products, offshore cables, thermal printing equipment and film. We report and categorize our customers and products into two different segments: Seismic and Non-Seismic.

Our seismic business segment accounts for the majority of our revenue. Geoscientists use seismic data primarily in connection with the exploration, development and production of oil and gas reserves to map potential and known hydrocarbon bearing formations and the geologic structures that surround them. Our seismic product lines currently consist of land and marine nodal data acquisition systems, permanent land and seabed reservoir monitoring products and services, geophones and geophone strings, hydrophones, leader wire, connectors, telemetry cables, marine streamer retrieval and steering devices and various other products. Our seismic products are compatible with most major competitive seismic data acquisition systems currently in use. We believe that our seismic products are among the most technologically advanced instruments and equipment available for seismic data acquisition.

We report and categorize our sales and products into two business segments: Seismic and Non-Seismic. Our Seismic product lines currently include land and marine wireless data acquisition systems, seabed permanent reservoir monitoring systems and services, geophones and geophone strings, hydrophones, leader wire, connectors, telemetry cables, marine streamer retrieval and steering devices and various other products. Our Non-Seismic product lines include thermal imaging and industrial products. Frequently, we have a minor amount of Seismic product sales to our Non-Seismic customers.


Our non-seismic businesses leverage upon our existing manufacturing facilities and engineering capabilities. We have found that many of our seismic products, with little or no modification, have direct application to industries beyond those involved in oil and gas exploration and development. For example, our customers utilize our borehole tools to monitor subsurface carbon dioxide injections and for mine safety applications.


Our non-seismic products include thermal imaging products targeted at the commercial graphics industry as well as various industrial products. Our industrial products include (i) sensors and tools for vibration monitoring, mine safety application and earthquake detection, (ii) cables for power and communication for the offshore oil and gas and offshore construction industries, and (iii) water meter cables and other specialty industrial cable and connector products.

Our long-term business strategy is focused on continued investment in research and development, expansion of our manufacturing and engineering capacity, expansion of our seismic equipment rental business, selective acquisitions, reinvestment of profits and minimizing debt obligations.


Continue Investment in Research and Development – Historically, our growth has been driven through our internal development of new products targeted at the seismic industry. In past years, our seismic product innovations included the introduction of borehole seismology tools, seabed permanent reservoir monitoring systems and wireless data acquisition systems. These innovative technologies are the result of our continuous investment in research and development initiatives, even during difficult industry cycles when we experience a significant decline in customer demand for our products. We believe our past growth is a direct result of this strategy and we intend to continue such research and development investments.


Attract and Retain Engineering Staff – Our engineering staff has been key to our success, we intend to continue our tradition of retaining and attracting engineering staff and providing appropriate compensation and benefits.


Expand Manufacturing and Engineering Capacity to Accommodate Future Growth – Our new product innovations have led to significant revenue growth in previous years. Since our initial public offering in 1997 and through fiscal year 2015, we have expanded our manufacturing, warehousing, engineering and office space from 99,000 square feet to 648,000 square feet. Early in fiscal year 2013, we received a large order from Statoil to design and manufacture two seabed permanent reservoir monitoring systems. This order required substantially all of our manufacturing capacity and capabilities for a period of approximately 18 months, requiring us to outsource many of our routine manufacturing activities and to turn away potential customer orders for other products. Furthermore, we had no spare manufacturing capacity to accommodate any other large order for a permanent reservoir monitoring system, should one have occurred. We believe we are the world leader in the design and manufacture of these systems. As such, we expect to receive future orders for large-scale reservoir monitoring systems which may exceed the magnitude of the Statoil Order, although the timing and frequency of such orders, if any, is unknown. We are currently experiencing depressed industry conditions as a result of lower crude oil prices and their impact upon capital spending in the oil and gas industry worldwide. The resulting significant decline in seismic product orders and, in particular, the lack of any orders for permanent reservoir monitoring systems, have required us to defer our plans to expand our manufacturing and engineering facilities until product demand, including demand for large permanent reservoir monitoring systems, and factory capacity utilization return to levels comparable to those we experienced during fiscal year 2013.

·
Expand our Seismic Equipment Rental Business – We have offered seismic equipment to our customers on a rental basis for many years, originally through our subsidiary in Canada. Following our introduction of new wireless data acquisition technology in 2008, we began offering our newly introduced GSX systems for rent in 2009, and at that time we initiated a rental fleet of 2,000 GSX channels. At the conclusion of fiscal year 2015, our rental fleet contained 130,000 GSX channels which are warehoused in North America, South America and Europe. Many current owners of our GSX channels were initially introduced to the product through a rental. We believe this rental strategy has contributed to the sale of 331,000 GSX channels since its introduction in 2008. We have also expanded this rental strategy to our marine OBX wireless system. At the conclusion of fiscal year 2015, our rental fleet contained 4,400 OBX stations. While demand has declined substantially for the rental of our GSX equipment due to the significant underutilization of customer-owned land data acquisition systems, we expect our OBX rental revenue to increase in fiscal year 2016 as a result of a recent agreement executed with an international seismic contractor. We plan to meet this demand by adding additional OBX stations to our rental fleet. We believe our rental business creates opportunities for us to demonstrate the qualities and benefits of new products like the GSX and OBX to potential customers without requiring the customer to make a large upfront capital investment. As a result, we will continue adding new product technologies to our rental fleet to meet customer demand.

·
Selectively Pursue Acquisitions of Businesses with Technological and Engineering Overlap – The seismic industry periodically experiences volatile business cycles requiring us to rapidly increase and decrease our business activities to meet the industry’s demand for our products. The seismic industry generally offers equipment manufacturers like us limited visibility into new orders creating challenges for us to manage our manufacturing capacity, workforce and working capital. While our primary growth initiative is to expand our seismic product offerings, we may also seek out other non-seismic business opportunities which complement our existing products, engineering and manufacturing capabilities, and company-wide culture. While we routinely evaluate both seismic and non-seismic business acquisition opportunities, we may direct these efforts toward non-seismic businesses in order to diversify our revenue base and expose us to different markets with different business cycles.

·
Reinvest Profits and Minimize Debt Obligations – Our growth over the years has resulted from the reinvestment of our cash profits back into engineering projects, plant additions, rental fleet development and expansion, small niche acquisitions and working capital expansion. While we are not opposed to moderate amounts of short-term debt during favorable business cycles, we choose to minimize our exposure to long-term debt obligations which, in our view, restrict our ability to operate during periodic difficult business cycles in the seismic industry similar to the current business environment. We believe this strategy has allowed us to achieve higher revenue and profit growth than our peers, many of whom have significant long-term debt burdens. We also believe that the value of our common shares outstanding will be best served in the long-term by reinvesting our cash profits back into the business. In this regard, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, nor do we expect to initiate a buy-back program to repurchase our common stock.
